An over run of conflicting feelings!

So recently an extended family member called me and told me it was up to us to talk my father in law out of marrying a person hes dating. And at first I was gung-ho for it. I havent particularily had pleasant interactions with the person and was rather annoyed at her.

But after talking to "the voice of reason" a.k.a. my step mom, I realize this shouldn't be about if I like this person or not. It should be about what my father in law wants. If he is fully prepared for marriage to this person, then I should be supportive and love her no matter what. If he is just going along to get everyones attention, I should be open and willing to listen and ready to give him an out when HE wants one. Not just because everyone else seems to think he's not smart enough to know what he wants.

There are so many alterior motives out there that who can really know what others intentions are anymore! So the best thing I can do is keep mine full of love and understanding, and not betray a relationship I have worked very hard at!
